Overview
- President Pasquale Stanzione and board members Ginevra Cerrina Feroni, Agostino Ghiglia and Guido Scorza are under investigation for embezzlement and corruption in a case coordinated by deputy prosecutor Giuseppe De Falco.
- On Jan. 15 the Guardia di Finanza searched the authority’s Rome headquarters and homes in Rome, Turin, Florence and Salerno, seizing devices and records after months of investigative reports and internal complaints.
- Prosecutors’ decrees cite reimbursements rising from about €20,000 in 2021 to roughly €400,000 in 2024, including five‑star hotels, business‑class flights, laundry and fitness services, plus thousands of euros in butcher shop purchases.
- The inquiry examines whether members received ITA Airways Volare executive cards worth about €6,000 each as the company’s proceeding ended with a merely formal sanction, with documents noting a potential conflict linked to Scorza’s former firm.
- Investigators are also reviewing the Meta Ray‑Ban Stories case, where an initial €44 million fine proposal was reduced and later annulled for timing, while the authority says it trusts the judiciary, denies wrongdoing and continues its work.
